Android - uncheck a SwitchPreference when it has been toggled on?

Question

I essentially want to do the following:

 switch.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
                Boolean newVal = (Boolean) newValue;
                if (newVal && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && !Settings.canDrawOverlays(getApplicationContext())) {
                    switch.setChecked(false);
                    displaySettingsDialog(); 
                    return true;
                }

switch.setChecked(false); does not appear to execute, and the switch will toggle on while displaySettingsDialog() happens. How do I get around this?

Try putting the switch outside your if statement, and use `setChecked(newVal)`. — Farbod Salamat-Zadeh, Jan 20 '17 at 20:35
I want to set it to false, though, and when the `newVal` is true. — user2892437, Jan 20 '17 at 20:37
If you want to set it to the opposite of `newVal`, do `setChecked(!newVal)` — Farbod Salamat-Zadeh, Jan 20 '17 at 20:37

The solution is to return false; instead of true
